My position is opposition to the proposal which would allow hunters to kill upwards to 50 cormorants per day for the following reasons:

It will cause much unnecessary suffering to the birds, including young birds in the nest that will die from the unnecessary death of parent birds.

This proposal allows for a wanton waste of animal lives since the birds are left to die, and are not consumed as food by humans.

Cormorants are not game birds.

Cormorants have previously been at risk for population endangerment, and this proposal is contra-indicated for proper wildlife management.
